Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] [ANN] RubyCocoa 0.13.2

[Laurent S. <lsa...@ap...>]

It is not possible to override the system version from the binary  
installer, and it's definitely not recommended.

You can however, by using the sources tarball, and passing the right  
options to install.rb, override it.

Beware that everything in /System belongs to the system and Apple is  
susceptible to perform any operation on its content via a software  
update, assuming that you never touched anything there.

It is safe to install RubyCocoa in /Library, because applications will  
load the /Library version first since it's first in the framework load  
path.
